Azzedine Alaïa is among the great masters of contemporary aesthetics. His success as a fashion designer is exemplary, and his way of shaping the female silhouette left its mark on the eighties. He dressed the biggest stars and some feel he transformed the way women are viewed through his talent. This book is a tribute to the couturier who in his early life thought he would become a sculptor. The superb photos gathered here reveal Alaïa’s dreamlike universe, his boundless creativity, and his incomparable sense of beauty. In this book, models and garments are admirably highlighted by magnificent photos and a beautiful layout. The artist bears witness to a talent akin to Roversi or Demarchelier in photography, with a unique touch in fashion creation, comparable to Jean-Paul Gaultier or Yves Saint-Laurent in a related field. This book is the most complete and unpublished ever published dedicated to the very talented and perfectly inimitable fashion designer Alaïa.
